Kessler's assesment of Calzaghe

Kessler was nowhere near 100% for that fight and he still won handily. No way Mundine won more than 4 rounds that night.

 

Kessler UD.

 

Yeah I thought it was pretty funny. Good to see that a ratio of something like 176:10 resulted. Calzaghe will over whelm Kessler eventually with his superior combination punching in close quarters. I think at times it will be a very technical fight, and a close one, but eventually the experience and versatility of Calzaghe will pull through. Calzaghe not only has quick hands, but is very quick on his feet, which I think will be detrimental in closing the distance on Kessler. Considering that his biggest weapon is his jab, I think Kess may find it hard to land provided Joe keeps that lead hand high. Southpaws are traditionally very hard to establish a good jab against, particular a good technician like Joe.

 

You can't compare Lacy and Kessler. Kessler is much better prepared to face Calzaghe, this doesn't mean that he can't lose anyway though, but he will not get blown away like Lacy did.

-Lacy had won a vacant title.
-Kessler is a double champion and have taken both belts from the former champs.

-Lacy had/has only faced one former champ before he was thrown to the wolves (Calzaghe).
-Kessler has beside the two champions beaten four former champs.

-Lacy had already been troubled (more or less) by Wiggins, Vanderpool and Sheika before he faced Calzaghe.
-Kessler has only been troubled in his away fight against Mundine, who himself is better than any of the guys that troubled Lacy.


Btw, I ask again, how do you define a convincing win? Is it a stoppage, a 120-108 decision or what?

 

:rofl

 

Fine, thank you for your answer.:good
Personally the absolut highest I can see Calzaghe winning by is 116-112 X 3 and that is highly unlikely, but time will tell I guess. Hopefully Calzaghe won't get injured and postpone the fight, can you imagine if all these debates will have to go on for a couple of months more?

 

Joe has never went up against anyone with Kessler's level of defense. Combine that with the fact that he doesn't hit very hard and is old, I have Kessler winning.

 

Well, your vCash indicates that you know how to pick a winner.:good

 

Has Calzaghe ever fought anybody with a similar style to Kessler? How did he win?

No point asking if Kesslers fought anyone like Calzaghe...

 

:goodfor the record. Kessler by KO:yep

 

how do you come to the hometown robbery conclusion? when was the last time calzaghe got a gift decision?

 

look mate, we've already established you know **** all outside floyd mayweather (and even there your knowledge is a little patchy), now stick to those threads.

 

:good Don't see my man Kessler loosing this either but I think this fight will bring out the warrior in him :bbb

 

Which he has in abundance

 

i would be surprised if kessler won by ko.

i see a close fight and i have long said who got home advantage would get the nod on the scorecards.

kessler might and most probably shake calzaghe with his straight right a few times in the fight , but ko him i do not think so.

seen kessler fight /thysse/siacca/lucas etc etc in fights where kessler dominated to the extent of calzaghe dominated lacy , all those fights were that one sided and none of them, despite the punishment they received were ever wobbled .

they were disheartnd and all pulled out with the exception of thyse , who should have been allowed to continue.

now calzaghe will be more ambitious and maybe more exposed to counters but by the same token he is not going to take nearly the same ammount of punches .

i see this fight going to the scorecards.
